The Legend Of Dragoon

One of the classic RPG game The Legend Of Dragoon which starts off with a young man seeking revenge. The young man is the main character of this game. His name is Dart. Eventually Dart on his journey to find out the truth behind his family whom all were murdered.

As his journey progress, he meets his comrades, his lover, his enemy and his destiny to gain power and became dragoon to help set free the world from evil threat. I spent about a month to finish this game. The game story line and ending are really satisfying.

Can’t think of any other better RPG other than Final Fantasy series and Star Wars during my time. I especially like Rose and Shana. They are both very beautiful even with the old PlayStation rending system back in the 90’s.

This game has great CG, storyline, battle system and it also yet again enables me to improve my English proficiency just by finishing the game.

Have to thanks JRPG that now I can understand both in Japanese and English quite well. It is all due to “Hard Gaming” lol.

Here is a link for you to listen to some of the OST of this classic RPG. Enjoy :)

Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace

Another Role-Playing Game I want to talk about is Star Wars The Phantom Menace. It’s not a traditional JRPG but It is still consider as one of the most successful Action RPG’s of my time.

My Father loves to watch Star Wars. I remember I have watched the old trilogy of Star Wars 4,5,6 for at least 10 times during my childhood. Thus, eventually I didn’t miss any of the new trilogy movies of my time.

What I really love about this game is that you can swing your light saber with STYLE. Not to mention that it also allows you to use your force in the game and perform dangerous yet interesting Jedi’s stuff in the game.

Starting with Padawan Obi Wan, you get to play with multiple characters such as Master Qui Gon, Princess Amidala and Anakin Skywalker in the podcast racing tournament.

Those were the days when games were still innovative and had great back bone story lines to motivate us to finish the game.

Final Fantasy 10 HD

As a Final Fantasy series’ fan, how can you not mention Final Fantasy 10. Square Enix released the HD rework version of Final Fantasy 10 last year, I pre-ordered it through Amazon and I got it as soon as it was released.

10 years have passed since I last played this game. With the beautifully rework on PS3, I get to venture again on the land of Spira and Zanakard. Not to mention that I played hours and hours of blitzball the mini game, collect the ultimate weapons and collected the strongest guardian forces (The Magus Sister, Yojimbo etc) in the game.

But of course it is the story line that attracts me the most. Being on the Pilgrimage with summoner Yuna and be her guardian in the attempt to defeat SIN.

I am actually quite amazed with the rework in both the graphics and the music. It gives you both new emotions and excitement to finish this game yet again.

Here's the link for you to watch the ending without grinding through the game :)

Final Fantasy 8

I still remember the first time when I played Final Fantasy 8 on my PC 12 years ago. It was amazing, it is still AMAZING. This was also my first time to play Japanese RPG on PC Engine and since then I am really falling into the Final Fantasy Series.

I basically like the idea, walkthrough and the progress of the story of FF8 where you are trained to be SeeD (mercenary to defeat Sorceress). The story becomes more romantic as Rinoa and Squall fall in love with each other and the next-level CG back in the days of Directx 6.0 was awesome. This game not only improved my proficiency in English but later on it motivated me to learn Japanese just to enable myself to finish the game in Japanese version.

It still gives me goose bumps every time I listen to the ending song 'Eyes On Me' which is one of my favorites songs of all time.

Definitely one of the best classic RPG's I have ever played!
